Earls Rush In

Earls Rush In Series, Book 1

By: Jennifer Haymore

Narrated by: Sasha Higgins

The beloved "sunshine" of the ton, Miss Charlotte Chapman, is trapped in the carriage with an utter madman. There's simply no other explanation for it. Why else would the rough, reclusive Earl of Trevelyan—her deceased brother's most beloved friend—sweep her away during a terrible snowstorm without explanation? All she knows is that his rather boorish behavior somehow involves her pending betrothal . . .

Trevelyan has a reputation for being something of a beast in society's circles, but nothing—nothing—will stop him from rescuing Charlotte from her disastrous engagement. He promised his best friend that she and her sister would be looked after. Of course, the earl can only protect her from the blackguard who's trying to marry her. Protecting her from himself is quite another matter . . .

Now, thanks to their upended carriage, they're stranded at a country inn—which has only one room left. And all it takes is one kiss to unlock the simmering desires they've never admitted . . . and a heartbreaking secret that could shatter Charlotte into a million pieces.

Contains mature themes.

Lively Reading, Mediocre Story

I wanted to like it...but honestly, it got old & tired for the hero to take chapter after chapter of what seemed essentially a non-reason for saying how much he's not worthy. Ugh. Who falls in love with a man who thinks he's a worm? Writer did well on the dialigues. The plot was too dragged out to stay engaged. It just lacked feeling & heart that always tugs at a reader in a great book. This isn't a great one. The heroine is a ninny who overreacted to everything. Hard to root for her HEA.

The narrator has a clear lilty voice and she reads it lively & well. Yet, it still just doesn't land.

Good

This was good. I loved how protective the hero was towards the heroine. I wish he had told her the truth from the beginning.

Narrator Ruined Further A Bad Story

The narrator sounded like a 12 year old. No difference between male and female voice such that the sex scenes sounded like child porn. it was disgusting.
